Not everyone is thinking the same way as you right now, JP.

But, you know. Thanks for being all supportive and shit.

[john_ispyro]

Whatever. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Don't let it bother you, it doesn't have to.

Yes, JP, I'm sure they get that. And, yeah, a lot of people get taken away suddenly. I did, once. But not a lot of people come back, and everyone did their goodbyes, even if it wasn't directly with me. It doesn't mean they want to do them again, and they don't have to.

Sorry to bust in, I really am, and I know this probably aint the best time and all, but you got any idea where I can find that little green pièce de merde?

I been keeping track of stuff on the news as much as I can lately, depressing as it is, it's important. He just added something else on his laundry list of why I wanna kick his sorry ass.

[john_ispyro]

Who doesn't have dibs on Toad? Really.

[skids_sally]

Freedom Force sucks.

They need to be taken down. Now.

[john_ispyro]

I know people working on it.

[skids_sally]

Good.

They've screwed with too many people.

[john_ispyro]

Yeah, they have. Now including everyone I know and love.

[daughterof_evil]

I love you. I'm glad you decided to tell us.

ooc: emailing you!

[john_ispyro]

I love you too, lady. And I'm glad you're glad. You're one of the ones I figured would be okay with knowing. Well, okay probably isn't the best word, I don't know a good work for it, but at least you're not pissed at me.

Right?

I think your fiance probably is. With good reason.

ooc: Awesome! And he's decided she needs a 'nickname'. She's his lady. Ha!

[daughterof_evil]

Right, not pissed. I'm grateful that I get to have more time with you.

Peter isn't pissed. He's too much of a puppy to be pissed. He's worried about me, probably worried about you too. And you know, I think he's a little worried about himself on top of that, because he's not the shoulder I cried on the first time and he got kinda achy from sleeping in a chair. He'll be fine.

ooc:He's too cute, omg. LOL.

[john_ispyro]

Okay.

Why was he sleeping in a chair?

[gotbottle]

I totally feel like anything I could offer or say would just be woefully inadequate. But I didn't want to sit here and just not say anything, either. You've been in my thoughts and you'll keep being there. And if there's anything at all I can do for you and Doug, please let me know.

((OOC: And I continue to be impressed with the quality of everything you've written for this storyline, especially the way you've woven in various writing community prompts. Very well done.))

[john_ispyro]

Hi Rachel. You know, I don't know what you can do, but I do appreciate it. So, thank you.

ooc: Awww! I'm honoured that you think so, and thanks for saying so. :)
